Jon Lester (3.00, 150 ERA+) / James Shields (4.44, 103 ERA+)
RedSox.com:
Shields experienced the worst outing of his career on Sunday afternoon against the Yankees, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits in 3.1 innings to take his sixth loss. Shields has been the Rays' best pitcher all season, effectively using a fastball, changeup, curve and cutter to retire hitters. The changeup remains his best pitch. ...
David Ortiz has two homers in five career at-bats against Shields.

Tampa Bay infielder Ty Wigginton has been traded to Houston for reliever Dan Wheeler, the Rhode Island native.
Ex-sox great:
Minor leaguer Sadler suspended 50 games for positive drug test
So I guess he's not playing tonight!

Houston -Tampa Bay trade:
Oh the excitement of the trade deadline....They need to move up the date to mid -August....
Work continues. No TV for me. Will check back.
Not so good in the Sox 1st:
Lugo K
Yook K
Ortiz K
Yah! Varitek tells me to STFU with an RBI single.
Then Coco bunts for a hit, Cora is HBP and Lugo draws a bases-loaded 4-pitch walk. 2-0 Sox.
Tejada with the 2-run double off Fat Billy.
2-0 Birds after 1.
The TCM allows two singles with one out in the 2nd, but escapes.
Lester at 21 pitches thru 2.
O's 3-0.
TCM's line:
5-6-3-3-4, 98 pitches (56 S / 42 B)
In the lower right-hand corner of MLB's Gameday, there is a Hall of Fame-related ad for a credit card (maybe).
MLB spells Cal Ripken's last name "Ripkin".
And thats why they call him The Doctor
Birds rolling 5-1 after 7, with Shemp Being Shemp in the outfield.
It's time for Jeemer and the Bot.
E-Slappy in the O's look for insurance in the bottom of the 8th.
Aigh! My eyes!
Love seeing those obese Rays fans yelling and fist-pumping at the cameras as if they have bragging rights or something.
So we win in extras. No big deal.
E-Slappy
With him and FBfO, it looks like I'll be posting some tabloids tomorrow AM!
Tek chases a high fastball for strike 3 -- yet again. Grrrr..........
MFY get 4 in 9th, but lose 7-5.
Slugo with the glove and the bat tonight! And the wheels too, of course.
Come ON! It's Al Fuckin' Reyes for god's sake!
Fucking idiot d-rays announcers. Ragging on the umps about the check swing call.
"Oh my goodness! That was horrible! ANOTHER bad call!"
It was pretty obvious on the replay he swung.
I feel sorry for Tampa Bay. I mean, one bad call here, another bad call there, before you know it, you're 24.5 GB.
True, however, these announcers piss me off to no end.
"He could rifle it into the right field gap, he has that kind of swing.
Dribbler to first, Youkilis has it and Norton is retired."
The TB team includes one of my faves, Joe Migraine.
"Come ON! It's Al Fuckin' Reyes for god's sake!"
I know. Since when did he become good. Met reject.
I have NESN tonight. They're no treat in extra innings.
Come on, Ococ!
Just noticed:
Coco Crisp = Coco see RISP.
Drive 'em in!
Watching Rays on MLBTV.
Ococ with the klaw.
Are eyedrops a performance enhancing substance? Our whole bullpen is using Jeemer's eyedrop juice.
Is Pedroia that hurt
"Coco Crisp = Coco see RISP."
:)
"Not klaw, kraw!"
Jesus, they stink.......
In the words of the Slackers...
Keep on walkin...
Slugo walks and gets an RBI - twice today!
"Jesus, they stink......."
That they do. They hung in there for a while, but they have no pen at all.
Jae Kuk Ryu ....Jae Kuk Who?
Mabe tommorrow they will let us feast on Casey(definetly using eyedrops) Fossum
Jae Kuk Ryu ....Jae Kuk Who?
So he owns a bunch of resorts?
YOOOOOK
that ought to do it!!
Is Timmeh warmin up and does he have the cammies on?
Fossum, now there's a guy who needs steroids.
Timlin unavailable tonight, no word on why. Vasquez up.

The stick in your butt kind......
Remy said Iwamura "cadillacked after the ball".
Vasquez.......Lopez
"The stick in your butt kind......"
You trying to give me nightmares or something?
Hey! It's 12-6!
Lopez, right. I do that all the time w/ the Javys.

I lost count along time ago...:)
"I'm right again!"
And that's what matters. :)
I believe we're back up to 9 GA?
Damn I'm tired and I have work tomorrow. (A novel event.) G'night all.
Novel?
Out of the (recent) ordinary.
Yup, 9 up. Feels good. Let's make it 10 tomorrow.
"It was pretty obvious on the replay he swung." Didn't look like it at all on NESN (who didn't have the all-important side angle, though.)
Rays TV had a roof shot that showed he broke his wrist/bat across the plate.
nights like this is what the 'joy of sox' is all about...........great game
Novel?
I've been unemployed. Now I'm working again.

I'll take the recent 1-0 Dice-K win any day. Losing the lead (3 times?) to Tampa Bay is not my idea of a great game!
But a nice offensive barrage and win, for sure.
The WPA graph for this game is quite something: http://www.fangraphs.com/wins.aspx?date=2007-07-28&team=Devil%20Rays&dh=0&season=2007
